First, I know - I suck but hear me out.

I have some Community Coffee KCups that on these hot days I want to sip it cold but not sure how cold coffee is made.

ETA: thanks everyone for your replies. This board is so underrated. Appreciate you -

Make the coffee as strong as you can. Let it cool down some then add some milk and pour it over ice.

Can’t help with the k cup situation but I make cold brew weekly. Here’s what I use mostly but not always. Let your fav grounds soak for atleast 24 hours, then drain minus the grounds. It’ll equal cold brew, I take mine no sugar or milk

I've been drinking/making cold brew coffee since the mid 1980's. An ex-GF worked for Phyllis Jordan back in the day (PJ's). Buy a Toddy and make your own. Takes 24 hours in the fridge and it will be concentrated. Add creamer, milk, sweetener and you created better and cheaper ice coffee than PJ's, CC's, and all other coffee houses. The cold brew process leaves coffee tasing smoother and less acidic. The Toddy costs around $25 ~30

Make really strong coffee (I make an espresso). Pour coffee in a cocktail shaker, add equal part milk — I like 2%. Add ice and shake. Toss that ice out by straining through cocktail shaker and pour into another glass. Add fresh ice.

This is for an iced Latte.

Basically 2 kinds of cold coffee...cold brew or iced coffee. Cold brew uses what's been posted above. A bit of a pain in that you have to plan ahead but the coffee isn't watered down at all. Iced coffee is just hot coffee poured over ice. If you're wanting to put all of the flavorings and whatever else they put in the girly concoctions, iced is fine so just use your kcups. If you want to taste the coffee itself cold brew is really good.

I have this one. It fits in the door shelves of most fridges so outta the way until ready to drink.

I do it in the french press. That means a coarse grind, and a butt ton of coffee per water compared to normal hot brew. It's great though. Concentrated but smooth, I drink it black. Just put a batch in the fridge, thanks for the reminder.
